This was yesterday's painting but computer problems kept me from posting it until today. I think I'm back in business! My mom and I traveled to town today to make a stop at Trader Joe's where I picked up 3 bouquets of flowers! So much inspiration! I was planning on doing a week of landscapes but plans change. I'm going to work more on florals, juicy paint application, and different color combos. (sorry about the glare on the upper right side)

This was Day 7 but I only took 10 minutes on it and it's a tiny 4x4 inch! My mom and I saw Star Wars today and the 2 hour drive took up most of the day. Back some full paintings tomorrow...of my new flowers! 

More Peonies for day 5

original sold but available as a print here.

Daily Painting Pink Peonies Day 4

Peonies With a Chance of Showers8x10 inch oil on ampersand$175

Here's my painting for day 4 of the 30 in 30 challenge. I was inspired by this old paint swatch I found in my purse. The color was called Chance of Showers. It's the beautiful light greyish blue on the upper right. There's peonies, roses, and even a protea in there. I'm still exploring color combos here keeping things soft and muted with bursts of color here and there. I hope you enjoy it! 

Day 3 dailypainting more florals

Day 3- 5x7 oil on paper $42 

This one is starting to grow on me. I'm trying to explore new color combos. I love the new pantone colors of the 2016, so that's what I'm using for inspiration. It's hard to break out of a comfort zone but this month I'm trying to do just that. At least I am with my art...not real life. But this is going to be a fun time for me. I'm going to try and keep them small and very affordable. You might consider starting your collection with one! I'm posting them on instagram at jbeaudet_art, first, so if you want to catch them before they go (wishful thinking) I'd love for you to follow me on there if you aren't already! Thanks so much for your support!

I decided to sign up for Leslie Saeta's 30 in 30 Challenge at the last minute. These are small 4x6 inch oil on paper sketches starting at $25! They are original paintings by me, J. Beaudet, hand signed and will not be reproduced or duplicated (except maybe in a larger size) ever! Sometimes my work sells fast so if you see one you like don't hesitate! 

Stick around if you'd like to see if I'll make it this time! 

Thanks so much for all of your support whether you've been here since the beginning or are just joining me. I hope you enjoy my posts and that they brighten your day just a little!

Happy New Year! New Floral Painting of Peonies

I'm ready for the new year! How about you? Here's the first painting for the year and it's a big one.
